Having the Concert Experience at Home
If you live with roommates or a significant other, ask them to come bump into you as you’re about to take a sip from your drink.
Don’t plan for a fun concert at 7PM on a Saturday night. Be realistic.
The concert you want to attend in pre-Covid times always made you think, “Will I be able to stay awake for that?”
9:35PM on a Thursday night.
If you work from home, even better because you’ll still have the experience of working all day, grabbing a quick bite to eat as you get ready and then go drive around the neighborhood pretending you can’t find parking.
After you park, rush into your home and get a drink. Pour the cheapest beer or wine you have into a plastic cup all the way to the rim, where it’s impossible to walk without spilling it.
Turn the lights down low and start the music, but play a different band than the one you miss seeing live.
Pick something obscure, but similar in style. You want to hear a band that has a first song that makes you think, “I like them. I should check out their stuff.” But then play two more songs not as good that makes you question how long their set is.
